E. obliqua, E. resinifera, E. robusta, E- siderophloia, and E. stu- 



urtiana. 



Since the past season, upon account of its dryness and the 

 heat of June and July, has been a very trying one, it is of interest 

 to note the species that have best survived these conditions. 

 'They are E. corynocalyx, E. corauta, E. herniphloia, E. leucoxy- 

 Ion, E. melliodora, E. occidentalis, E. polyanthema, E. rostrata, 

 E. rudis, and E. tereticornis. All of these are valuable timber 

 trees, some of them being among the most veluable ones in Aus- 

 tralia. E, corynocalyx is vers- useful for fence posts, for fuel, 

 for wagon-making, and as a source of honey. E. cornuta is a 

 very valuable source of material for agricultural implements. E. 

 hemiphloia is useful for fence posts, for agricultural implements, 

 and for -wagon-making. E. leueoxylon is useful for fuel, for fence 

 posts, for bridge-building, and for wagon-making. E. melliodora 

 is useful for fuel, for wagon-making, and as a source of an excel- 

 lent grade of honey. E. polyanthema is useful for posts, for 

 wagon-making, and as a source of honey. E. rostrata is, accord- 

 ing to Australian authorities, one of the most valuable trees of 

 that continent, being used principally for lumber, posts, railway 

 ties, bridge-building, wagon-making, and for fuel. E. tereticor- 

 nis furnishes a similar timber, being especially durable under- 

 ground.
